The Boyfriend singer says he misses mom Pattie Mallette way more now than when he was a kid. He says:

"I do miss her, yeah, I mean especially now being 18. Before when I was around her all the time, like, every day, I was getting sick of her and I would look forward to her leaving, like, 'Yes mom's leaving tomorrow!'

"And now I'm like, 'When is mom coming back?' Because I don't see her that often so you know it's funny how those things change."

Aw, when is this kid full-grown man going to stop being so darn adorable manly?! No wait, we do mean adorable!

And now that Pattie has a tour of her own for her new book, her little Bieby will be seeing even less of her!

Well, if you do get lonely, you can always call us! We're not sure about our maternal instincts, but we have been told we order a mean pizza!
